The Best Studio Mir Animated Shows to Watch Before ‘Devil May Cry’

Thanks to the recently announced new adaptation of Devil May Cry, Studio Mir is now the talk of the town. Although this came as a huge surprise for fans, the anime is bound to become a hit, joining an already successful franchise of manga, novels, video games, and animated works. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before the excitement over the series extended to its animation studio.

Based in South Korea, Studio Mir may have flown over the radar of many people, but there’s no denying that it has consistently provided animation aficionados with some of the best projects we’ve seen over the years. Well, I say it’s about time that we properly appreciate them. So, if you’re looking to get to know this studio’s projects a little bit more, here is a list of the most delightful animated shows it has been involved in.

Lookism (2022)

Netflix’s Lookism offers an insightful look into beauty standards by packaging it in an entertaining fantasy series. The story centers around Park Hyung Suk, a student whose appearance suddenly starts changing. Whenever he goes to sleep, he switches into the body of a handsome teen, only to wake up on his own the next time it happens. Maintaining this double life isn’t easy, but the protagonist is determined to take full advantage.

The Legend of Korra (2012-2014)

The Legend of Korra had something to prove after the success of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and suffice it to say that it accomplished that. The series offers us a look at what its fantasy world looks like 70 years after its predecessor, by following Korra as she finds her own path as the new Avatar. If you were impressed by Aang’s story, streaming Korra’s on Netflix will likely fill the void it left behind.
